Cooler weather with clouds and precipitation can bring out even more intense PMD hatches as well as emergences of Hecubas and the mahogany duns (particularly from Pacific Creek down to South Park Bridge). Targeting riffles, seams, eddies, side channels, and banks or structure with slow to moderate current can produce in solid fas


Autumn Hatches Are Here!
Snake River Cooling autumn temps and some more consistent precipitation have provided an uptick in an already upticking surface game as PMDs and – FINALLY- hecubas are move of a given most days from the late morning hours until mid to late afternoon. Heavy precipitation may cause some off color water some days. Nevertheless, it has not been enough to eliminate any chance of top-water action. Mayfly imitations are working best in eddies, side channels, bankside troughs, and b

Most days, it is still 11am to 2pm. But there are times when the morning hours and post-3pm time period takes the cake. Claassenia stones and PMDs are the main
